Instead of counting calories next time you want to lose weight, try keeping an eye on the clock. US researchers at the Salk Institute have found that restricting eating to an 8-to-12-hour window each day can help the body burn fat instead of storing it, the Telegraph reports.

Mice whose eating was restricted "had a number of protective and therapeutic health benefits compared with animals allowed to eat the same number of calories from the same food source at any time," says the lead researcher in a press release.
